I thought it a timely reminder that a small % of players either due to their nature, because personal circumstances change and leave them in dire circumstances (loss of job, house repossession etc), or because they are wannabe Gordon Gecko's - decide what a great idea it would be if they asked their fellow players to give them their money so they can invest it for them.
All trades are final in Entropia Universe.
TOU 6.1. Transactions between Avatars
The Entropia Universe provides You with trading administration services (including the Auction System service, the Shop Systems services, Avatar Direct Trade System services etc) that enables You to carry out secure transactions with others, in which participating parts can exchange Virtual Items and Real World Items (the "Approved Transaction").
Please notice that transactions concerning payment for Virtual Items, including PED, outside the Entropia Universe often involve fraudulent activities. You acknowledge that any transaction regarding Virtual Items, including PED, carried out using any service or system other than one of MindArk’s Approved Transaction systems is at Your own risk. MindArk reserves the right to take any reasonably necessary measures for the purpose of preventing and acting against frauds and non-Approved Transactions, including, but not limited to, making a reservation against a suspected Transaction, and Banning and/or Terminating a directly or indirectly involved Account, if MindArk determines that the transaction was not performed in compliance to this Agreement.
MindArk acknowledges the responsibility to maintain records on all transactions with Virtual Items via MindArk's Approved Transaction systems. You agree that MindArk's transaction records shall be conclusive proof of the transaction carried out via Your Account.
You acknowledge Your responsibility to keep track of any and all transactions with Virtual Items involving Your Account. MindArk accepts no responsibility for misplaced or misused Virtual Items in any incidence, regardless of reason.
There have been regular trust scams and investment schemes over the 5 years I've played and the majority of schemes fail. Richard Devil is still remembered bitterly by some as possibly the most infamous avatar to do this.
A few weeks ago a mothership was group purchased and apparently now has been basically stolen.
Whilst I accept some have worked, probably most notably the purchase of Medusa's Head, most dont.
Good luck with your purchase with the planet Calypso (I'm being ironic) John Capital, and as you live in Las Vegas, I hope you dont put it all on Red.
